take the campaign, city of camden, new jersey. after 168 police officers were laid off in 2010, violent crime spiked 20%. the city needed $2.5 million in grant money to rehire 50 officers. the story is no different this year. camden is one of 29 cities that received fema grants to adequately staff fire departments and emergency services after cuts at the state level. the federal government is still on the hook paying for jobs governors like chris christie did away with so recklessly. i can understand the mentality of these governors and mitt romney, especially when it comes to education. you see, i attended the same boarding school as mitt romney for a year and a half in the mid-'70s. i won a scholarship to the prestigious school. i saw the small classrooms, individual attention paid by teachers. the constant nurturing of students and the freedom to range widely in academic pursuits. this was unlike the experience at the school i eventually graduated from in detroit's inner city. we had secondhand textbooks, dilapidated facilities

prosecutors say the man stormed into a midnight premiere of the new batman movie last week in the city of aurora. he came in with tear gas and guns and wearing enough protective gear that police almost reportedly mistook him for one of their own. though officers arrived in two minutes, he managed to kill 12 people and wound 58 others. he was armed with a pair of glock handguns, a 12-gauge shotgun, and an ar-15 assault rifle. all appear to have been purchased legally. law enforcement in colorado said he had stockpiled bullets before the massacre. he stored up 6,000 rounds buying from ammunition suppliers online. the list includes 3,000 rounds for handguns, 3,000 for the assault rifle, and 350 shells for the shotgun. just like the guns used in friday night's massacres, all of the bullets were also purchased legally. for the victims, the family and friends, for aurora and the rest of the country, the shootings were stunning, traumatic, and as horrible as an event can be. to know about it is to be full of grief.
